ASUS recently unveiled a new card resulting from its collaboration with Noctua. The RTX 4080 Super has been given a Noctua theme… However, it features the brand’s classic brown/beige colors. So, what would an ASUS Noctua Edition look like in black? That’s what @mr_matt_lee wanted to realize on X.
An all-black ASUS Noctua Edition is so stylish!
At the moment, neither ASUS nor Noctua seem willing to offer an all-black version of their graphics cards. That’s why Mr Matt Lee has come up with a customized version of the series. For this, he has “simply” opted for two NF-A12x25 chromax.black fans to replace the original models.
On the face of it, for manufacturers, offering such a version shouldn’t be too complicated, since the black fans are exactly the same as the original models. There are no changes in size or features.
As a reminder, an NF-A12x25 PWM has a maximum rotation speed of 2000 rpm. Air flow and static pressure are 102.1 m3/h and 2.34 mmH2O respectively.
Now, what Mr Matt Lee’s post doesn’t tell us is how complicated it is to change these fans. Are there screws everywhere, that sort of thing. What’s more, it’s highly likely that this type of realization will totally invalidate the card warranty since it’s been modified!
